On another thread some people have confessed wanting to choosing non disabled people rather then disabled. I'm the complete opposite of that. Most of the people who I have found easier to relate to have been disabled in some way.
I know a lot of disabled people aspire to normality but I don't. I like being differantly able with all the extra challanges I have in my life. A 'normal' life must be incredibly dull.
I've noticed in particular that some people have had particular objections to being placed alongside people with learning difficulties. This has happened to me sometimes which really didn't bother me at all. In fact I found people with learning difficulties easier to deal with. I have much fonder memories of the times I've had growing up alongside other disabled people then I have with non disabled people.
